Julian Assange arrested

After nearly seven years, Julian Assange has been dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy and arrested.

He is finally ‘to face justice’, say the politicians and the media. What for? For revealing the murderous and corrupt criminality of those in power - of those same politicians and propagandists who now say he must face justice.

Oh how Orwellian it all is!

We live in societies in which those who wage murderous wars for oil and profit face no consequences, but those who try and put a stop to it are, at best, suppressed and unable to publish and broadcast in the mainstream media, or at worst, imprisoned and tortured.

What a feat of propaganda it is that some still see this system as free and democratic!

It is the capitalist pursuit of perpetual wealth and power that is to blame for this nightmare that we and our planet are in. Assange and WikiLeaks are an obstacle to this pursuit - they dare to unveil truths about the capitalists in power, and hinder the ability of the capitalist media to manipulate us into supporting yet more profitable war and plunder. So far, at least 20-30 million innocents, over the last 70 years, have been killed, and our ecosystem is almost destroyed - all as a result of this pursuit for profit.

At least there is a bit of hope on the horizon with the possibility that we may soon have a socialist Prime Minister in the UK who will try and resist and transform the destructive and chaotic neoliberal, capitalist system. But will enough people wake up in time to vote for him?
